SMD Solo in green and Barebones carbon pole.

Used three times however at 6'2" I need just a tad more length.

It's been seam sealed and as you'd expect is in fantastic condition. The pole is 6 section and folds to just 23.5cm

TAX on bikes from abroad

If I found myself in Germany, walked into a bike shop and bought one, do I pay the German equivalent of VAT or is it exempt working on the theory I'd get picked up for VAT on returning home?

Re: Wst Kernow Way complete.

Just ridden the WKK (most of it) over the past two days. There are some stunning views and trails along parts of it. A lot of the ride follows the Tiners Way and also the Cornish Way. Food/refreshment can be an issue (bad news Mike😉) so it's a case of grab what you can when you can. Tbh huge amount ...

Having similar problems since the change of bike and bars. I've flipped my Garmin 'out front' mount so it now points towards me (more of an 'out back' now) this lets me use my Garmin battery pack but still struggling to get enough height on the light.

supergripz 45mm

Unfortunately these get in the way of my controls. Only one has been fitted and removed straight away, its as new but I'm not comfortable returning it as its been 'fitted'.
I've now swapped them put to the 35mm.

Re: Going tubeless...

Pressures- been using this recently.
https://axs.sram.com/guides/tyre/pressure
Only major changes across my bikes were my road pressures, now running 73/75 down from late 80's. Roll just as fast and way more comfortable (albeit all the wheels are now running slightly lower pressures).
